We are building a house!!

I am so excited! We are building a house!! All of a sudden I am so busy I can hardly breathe!! Last week, we had 2 meetings with realtors, a trip to the design center to pick out stuff, and I had 2 job interviews, looked for daycares for Mac, replanted the flower beds out front, cleaned out our office, recaulked the formica (yuck) in the kitchen, rearranged the furniture in the dining room, and made several trips to home depot for odds and ends!!
Oh yeah, and I worked a full week somewhere in there.....

We are moving to a new community in Frisco ( still DFW area). So yes, DH will be a commuter forever!! The community is brand new. In fact we will probably be one of the first homes in there. But they are already building and building quickly!! We should be in by mid Oct or at the latest early Novemeber. I am mostly excited about the kitchen!! Granite countertops, ceramic tile, undermount sink, all stainless appliances, island in the center. Super counterspace!! Pull out drawers for pots and pans, open to the family room and tons of windows, so it is light and bright!!! Maybe I might be more motivated to start cooking again!! Time to pull out the recipe books.
Anyhow, that's why I've been scarce lately. But I am still trying to read and keep up. Hope all is well with everyone!!

The house sounds wonderful! I have been working on getting my husband to move. We are looking at getting the house ready to put on the market for the spring. I would also love to build a house, but around here there is so much new construction sitting vacant that I think we'll be able to find what we are looking for that is brand new and already built (I'm a real estate junkie and keep an eye on what's out there). Well, it sounds exciting! Keep us posted on the progress!
